How much are my mineral rights worth?

The value of mineral rights depends on several factors including location, production history, proven reserves, current market prices, and lease terms. Our experienced team provides free mineral rights appraisal using industry-leading valuation methods. Factors we consider include nearby well production, geological surveys, and current commodity prices.

How do I sell my mineral rights?

Selling mineral rights involves several steps: 1) Contact a reputable mineral rights buyer, 2) Review your deed and title, 3) Receive a transparent valuation explaining the offer, 4) Negotiate terms and closing timeline, 5) Complete title work and documentation, 6) Close the transaction. Buckhead Energy streamlines this process with quick closings and competitive offers.

What is the best company to sell mineral rights to?

The best mineral buying company offers fair market value, transparent pricing, quick closings, and professional service. Look for companies with proven track records, positive landowner reviews, and expertise in your specific basin or region. Buckhead Energy has been acquiring mineral rights since 2007, with successful transactions across 33 states.

Should I sell or lease my mineral rights?

The decision to sell or lease mineral rights depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Selling provides immediate cash with no ongoing management, while leasing offers potential long-term income but requires active management. Consider factors like current commodity prices, development potential, tax implications, and your need for immediate capital.

What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights are the legal rights to extract and profit from minerals beneath the surface of land, including oil, natural gas, coal, and other valuable substances. These rights can be owned separately from surface rights. Mineral rights ownership entitles you to lease payments, royalties from production, and the right to sell these assets.

How long does it take to sell mineral rights?

The timeline to sell mineral rights typically ranges from 30-90 days, depending on title complexity and documentation requirements. At Buckhead Energy, we streamline the process: initial evaluation and offer within 7-14 days, title review 2-4 weeks, and closing within 30-45 days of accepted offer.

Colorado Residents: Sell Your Texas Mineral Rights

Texas Minerals, Colorado Residence

The Denver-Texas connection runs deep in the oil and gas industry. Many Denver-based operators have significant Permian Basin assets, and countless industry professionals have moved between the two states throughout their careers. If you're a Colorado resident who owns Texas mineral rights, you likely understand their value—but that doesn't mean you want to manage them from 600+ miles away.

Whether you inherited Texas minerals from family, acquired them during your career, or invested in the Permian boom, managing Texas assets from Colorado has unique challenges:

Different regulatory environment than Colorado

Texas Railroad Commission rules vs. COGCC

Multiple operators across different Texas basins

Texas franchise tax filings for mineral income

Major Texas Producing Areas

We buy minerals throughout Texas. Many Denver-based operators are active in these areas, so you may recognize the basins:

Permian Basin

America's most prolific oil basin spanning West Texas. Includes Midland Basin, Delaware Basin. Counties: Midland, Martin, Howard, Reeves, Loving, Ward, Ector, Andrews.

Eagle Ford Shale

South Texas oil and gas play. Counties: Karnes, DeWitt, Gonzales, La Salle, Dimmit, Webb, McMullen, Live Oak, Atascosa.

Haynesville Shale

East Texas natural gas play extending into Louisiana. Counties: Harrison, Panola, Shelby, Rusk, Nacogdoches.

Barnett Shale

North Texas gas play around Fort Worth. Counties: Tarrant, Johnson, Wise, Denton, Parker, Hood.

The Denver-Permian Connection

Denver is home to numerous Permian Basin operators, from large independents to private equity-backed E&Ps. This creates a unique situation where Colorado residents may own Texas minerals through:

Career connections: Worked for a Denver company with Texas assets

Investment opportunities: Purchased minerals through industry contacts

Family history: Relatives worked in Texas oil fields

Inheritance: Family owned land in West Texas, passed down minerals

Texas-Specific Questions

Texas has no personal income tax, so you won't pay Texas income tax on royalties. However, Colorado does tax all income including out-of-state mineral income. When you sell, Texas won't tax the gain (no income tax), but Colorado will tax it as capital gains. You may also have Texas franchise tax obligations depending on your royalty volume. Consult a tax professional familiar with both states.

Many Denver-based operators run significant Permian operations. You can sell leased minerals—the buyer acquires your ownership subject to the existing lease. You receive the sale price at closing, and the buyer receives all future royalties. The operator relationship doesn't change; only the royalty recipient does.

Different basins have different economics. Permian Basin wells typically have different decline curves, gas-oil ratios, and operating costs than DJ Basin wells. Our valuations are based on Texas-specific data for your particular area, not general industry assumptions. We use the same data sources and methods you'd expect from any professional mineral buyer.

Not at all. Many families own minerals across multiple counties, especially in the Permian Basin where ranches often spanned county lines. We can buy all your Texas minerals in a single transaction, even if they're in different counties with different operators. One closing, one payment.
